As far as I know the fuel light is not used as a trouble indicator for other things. I have heard about people having trouble with the sensor in the tank getting gummed up and not working or giving false readings, maybe yours is going.

On my 99 R6, my fuel light never worked...When I start the bike, the fuel light goes on for a sec and then turns off (normal) and then since I've had the bike, it's never gone on. I learned that it didn't work the hard way

However, yesterday when I was going up Cypress, my fuel light came on and the digital part started displaying "F. XXkms" on reserve...But the weird thing is, I just filled up! Now it randomly comes on and off !

Why do bikes have to have these complex fuel-level meters?
Drill a hole in the top of the tank and put in a basic fuel level meter like they use on small boats. All it is is a cork/float that slides up and down on a spiral spindal that turns a neddle. No reserve lights. no connectors, no bloody 8-position LED displays.
